JD Vance says US-Israel hostilities with Iran end when Iranians "stop shooting at ships"

During a White House briefing, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said he could not give a date for when hostilities between the United States‑Israel coalition and Iran will end, noting the situation is not a conventional war and that active exchanges of fire are presently absent, though occasional incidents have occurred. He linked the halt of commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to Iranian moves after the February 28 attacks, which have affected a sizable portion of global oil and gas flow. Vance argued U.S. military actions are gradually reducing the impact on energy markets and mentioned a pending deal over Venezuelan oil reserves as another stabilizing element. He also said the Pentagon is reviewing reports of a strike on a wedding gathering in Sirik and expressed skepticism toward Iranian claims about the incident.
